(a) Importance.
They eyes are said to be the windows of the body and very important organs. Hence particular attention should be paid on the cleanliness of the eyes. It is through them that we see this beautiful world. Information regarding the objects that we see immediately reaches the mind.
Sometimes, we feel headache, fatigue, lack of interest, backwardness, disinclination and mental disturbances etc. when defects appear in our vision. This shows how vital eyes are for us and how important it is to protect them against injury, defects and disease.
One should have elementary knowledge about their structure and functions, so as to be extra vigilant in protecting them.
